Factores asociados al dolor lumbar y estado psicoafectivo de las auxiliares de geriatría en residencias de mayores

INTRODUCCIÓN: Diferentes estudios observan que la sobrecarga a nivel físico y psicoafectivo de las auxiliares de geriatría (AG) que trabajan en residencias de mayores es muy elevada. Dado que esta sobrecarga puede tener un gran impacto tanto en la calidad de vida de las AG como en la calidad del cuidado de las personas a las que atienden, resulta esencial identificar qué factores determinan la salud física y psicoafectiva de estas trabajadoras. OBJETIVOS: a) Describir las características sociodemográficas, la condición física, la calidad de vida, el estado psicoafectivo y el dolor en una muestra de AG que trabajan en residencias de mayores b) Identificar los factores que se asocian y pueden predecir la situación psicoafectiva y el dolor c) analizar el efecto de la jornada laboral en parámetros físicos y de dolor. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal en el que participaron un total de 54 mujeres (41.61 ± 11.55 años) de cuatro residencias de mayores de Gipuzkoa. Se recogieron datos sobre sus características sociodemográficas (cuestionario), condición física (medidas antropométricas; handgrip, arm curl test, chair stand test, plank test, prueba de McGill, y Curl Up test modificado para la fuerza y resistencia muscular; 8 Foot Up and Go para la agilidad; prueba de Ruffier para la condición cardio-respiratoria y modified Schober test para la flexibilidad de la columna lumbar), calidad de vida (EuroQol-5D-3L), estado psicoafectivo (escala de felicidad subjetiva, Maslach Burnout Inventory y escala de Goldberg para ansiedad y depresión), y dolor (Escala Visual Analógica). RESULTADOS: El 54.7% de las AG tenía niveles moderados-altos de burnout asociado al cansancio emocional. El 27.8% mostró riesgo de sufrir un trastorno clínicamente relevante de ansiedad, y el 31.5% de depresión. Un 38.9% de las AG refirió tener dolor lumbar. Las lesiones laborales (p=0.030) y el consumo de medicación de forma puntual (p=0.036) fueron factores de riesgo para desarrollar niveles de ansiedad clínicamente relevantes. Las lesiones laborales (p=0.028) y el dolor lumbar (p=0.008) fueron factores de riesgo para desarrollar niveles de depresión clínicamente relevantes. Las repeticiones en el Curl Up test modificado (p=0.008) fueron un factor de riesgo para sufrir intensidades de dolor lumbar clínicamente relevantes, y el índice de calidad de vida (p=0.005) se identificó como un factor protector. El transcurso de la jornada laboral tuvo como efecto un aumento significativo de la fuerza en contracciones isotónicas, una disminución significativa de la resistencia en contracciones isométricas, y una tendencia al incremento de la intensidad del dolor. CONCLUSIONES: Se encontraron altas prevalencias de burnout asociado al cansancio emocional, ansiedad, depresión y dolor lumbar en la muestra de AG estudiada. Es imprescindible llevar a cabo nuevos estudios con el objetivo de reducir dichas prevalencias y así mejorar la calidad de vida de las AG y la calidad del cuidado de las personas a las que atienden

Videoconference-Based Physical Performance Tests: Reliability and Feasibility Study

Validated tools to evaluate physical performance remotely with real-time supervision are lacking. We assessed test–retest and inter-rater reliability, as well as the feasibility of carrying out the five-repetition sit-to-stand (5RSTS), kneeling push-up (KPU) and Shirado–Ito trunk flexor endurance (SIF) tests by 1:1 real-time videoconference. We also evaluated the correlation of these tests with measures of self-reported physical fitness, physical activity, health state and pain. A total of 96 healthy adults participated in the study (18–65 years). Relative and absolute reliabilities were assessed with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and standard error of measurement (SEM), respectively. Feasibility outcomes included testing duration, participant acceptability (1–5 Likert scale) and presence of adverse events. Self-reported measures were obtained with validated online questionnaires, and correlations were analyzed with Pearson’s partial correlation coefficients controlling for age. ICCs were excellent (>0.9), and SEMs were generally low (2.43–16.21%). The mean duration of all tests was <5 min, mean acceptability was ≥4.5, and adverse events were few. The KPU showed statistically significant correlations with various self-reported measures (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the 5RSTS, KPU and SIF were reliable and feasible when conducted by 1:1 real-time videoconference. This study provides a tool that could be logistically and economically advantageous.A.E. is a recipient of a predoctoral grant from the Basque Government (Eusko Jaurlaritza), grant number PRE_2020_2_0163.

Effects of a videoconference-based therapeutic exercise intervention on the musculoskeletal pain of eldercare workers: protocol for the ReViEEW randomized controlled trial

Background Prevalence of musculoskeletal pain is high among eldercare workers, and therapeutic exercise has shown to be effective for its management. Although telerehabilitation is an increasingly used alternative for delivering therapeutic exercise, no studies have assessed synchronous group telerehabilitation interventions for the manage‑ ment of musculoskeletal disorders. Thus, the aim of this article is to describe the protocol of a randomized controlled trial that will assess the effects of a videoconference‑based group therapeutic exercise intervention on the musculo‑ skeletal pain of eldercare workers. Methods This multicenter trial will randomly assign 130 eldercare workers to either a control or experimental group. Participants in the control group will not receive any intervention, and participants in the experimental group will take part in a 12‑week remote supervised videoconference‑based intervention, consisting of 2 weekly 45‑min group ses‑ sions. Each session will include 4 sets of 6 progressive resistance exercises for the lower limbs, upper limbs and trunk, performed with bodyweight and elastic bands at moderate‑high intensity. Following the 12 weeks, participants in the experimental group will be provided with material for autonomously carry on the therapeutic exercises and advised to continue performing 2 weekly sessions on their own until a 48‑week follow‑up. Assessments will be performed at baseline, 12 and 48 weeks. Primary outcome will be average pain intensity in the low back during the last 7 days, measured by the 0–10 Numerical Rating Scale. Secondary outcomes will include additional measures of musculoskel‑ etal pain, psycho‑affective state, work‑related variables, and physical fitness. Discussion This will be the first trial, to our knowledge, assessing whether a remote delivery of a group therapeutic exercise intervention via videoconference is effective for reducing the musculoskeletal pain, improving the psycho‑ affective state and physical fitness, and enhancing the work‑related parameters in eldercare workers. If successful, this study will provide innovative tools for implementing effective, scalable and affordable interventions to tackle mus‑ culoskeletal disorders in the workplace. It will also highlight the utility of telehealth, and address the importance of therapeutic exercise to manage musculoskeletal pain in a critical population for the future of the aging societies as it is the eldercare workers.This work is funded by the Basque Government (IT1538‑22 and PRE_2021_2_0056) and the University of the Basque Country (GIU20/06).

Can Vitality and Mental Health Influence Upper Extremity Pain? A Prospective Cohort Study of 1185 Female Hospital Nurses

Musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremity are among the most common occupational problems affecting nurses. The aim of this study was to analyze the prospective association between vitality and mental health and increased upper extremity pain intensity in female hospital nurses during a 1-year follow-up. A prospective cohort of 1185 female nurses from 19 hospitals in Denmark was conducted using baseline and 12-month follow-up questionnaires to identify potential associations between levels of vitality and mental health (SF-36 subscales) with pain intensity (0–10 scale) in the shoulder, elbow and hand/wrist regions. Associations were modeled using cumulative logistic regression. The fully adjusted model included the variables of age, baseline pain, body mass index, smoking status, years of occupation, leisure time physical activity level, number of daily patient transfers/handlings, as well as recognition and influence at work. The mean age was 48.3 (SD: 10.4) years. In the fully adjusted model, significant associations between low vitality levels and the odds of shoulder pain (OR = 1.96; 95%CI: 1.43–2.68) and hand/wrist pain (OR = 2.32; 95%CI: 1.58–3.42) were observed. Likewise, moderate levels of mental health was associated with increased odds of shoulder pain at follow-up (OR = 1.50; 95%CI: 1.16–1.93). These results provide an important incentive for nursing managers to assess vitality and mental health among hospital nurses and to consider this factor in prevention strategies to ensure good worker health and, by extension, high-quality care.Author L.L.A. obtained a grant from the Danish Working Environment Research Fund (Arbejdsmiljøforskningsfonden) for this study.

Impact of COVID-19 confinement on physical activity and sedentary behaviour in Spanish university students: role of gender

During the COVID-19 pandemic, entire populations were instructed to live in home-confinement to prevent the expansion of the disease. Spain was one of the countries with the strictest conditions, as outdoor physical activity was banned for nearly two months. This study aimed to analyse the changes in physical activity and sedentary behaviours in Spanish university students before and during the confinement by COVID-19 with special focus on gender. We also analysed enjoyment, the tools used and motivation and impediments for doing physical activity. An online questionnaire, which included the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form and certain 'ad hoc' questions, was designed. Students were recruited by distributing an invitation through the administrative channels of 16 universities and a total of 13,754 valid surveys were collected. Overall, university students reduced moderate (-29.5%) and vigorous (-18.3%) physical activity during the confinement and increased sedentary time (+52.7%). However, they spent more time on high intensity interval training (HIIT) (+18.2%) and mind-body activities (e.g., yoga) (+80.0%). Adaptation to the confinement, in terms of physical activity, was handled better by women than by men. These results will help design strategies for each gender to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour during confinement periods.This research was funded by the High Sports Council (Consejo Superior de Deportes, CSD) of the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Government of Spain, grant number 45/UPB/20.
